INTRODUCTION. * 



The remedies mentioned in this work are 
Eclectic, that is, are taken from Eclectic text 
books, journals, etc. The specific indications are 
taken from Scudder's works and journal, from The 
Gleaner and other Eclectic medical journals. It 
is intended as a handy reference book. 

When looking for a certain remedy and its 
specific indication, look for the name of the organ 
or part upon which the effect of the medicine is 
desired. For instance : We have a bladder diffi- 
culty, look for "Bladder," or "Urinary Organs," 
and not for "Cystitis" etc. We have a heart 
trouble, look for "Heart," not for "Endocarditis," 
or "Palpitation," etc. We have a uterine or men- 
strual derangement, look for "Reproductive Or- 
gans," or "Menstruation," as the case may be, and 
so on. * 

We believe it a handy little book for the 
busy practitioner, as well as to a medical student. 
No new indications or medicines are given except- 
ing those found in Eclectic journals and literature.
